Hey everyone
One small detail I always found frustrating when recording demos was the cursor.
It s either:
- too small to see
- jittery and distracting
- or just... boring
So I added a custom cursor feature to Snapr.

Now you can:
Use different cursor styles and adjust size
Smooth out cursor movement (no more jitter)
Add motion blur trails
Add click effects for better clarity
The goal wasn t to make it flashy
but to make recordings easier to follow.
Especially for tutorials, product demos, and presentations.
Would love to hear your thoughts:
What makes a good cursor in recordings for you?

Launching is exciting because everything is happening at the same time. People check the product, you get feedback you talk to users, you feel that something is moving. But after the launch, it becomes harder. The big moment is gone, and now you have to keep showing up.

Personally, I think this part is underestimated. Because launching gives you attention, but it doesn t automatically give you growth. For example, after a launch you still need to:

• follow up with users

• turn feedback into clear tasks

• keep posting updates

• Improve onboarding

• stay in touch with people who supported you

• ...

I see so many makers spending weekends setting up n8n, OpenClaw, or Postgres on a VPS. They think they're saving money.

But your time isn't free. SSL certs expire. Updates break things. Backups fail. One 3 am debugging session and you've lost any "savings."

Unless you have compliance reasons, just pay for managed hosting. Am I wrong? Tell me why self-hosting is actually worth it for you.
